1956 Map of Mt. Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Barlow Road cuts a historical path across this high-elevation landscape, where the Mount Hood National Forest meets the northern boundary of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. Mapping in the mid-1950s reveals a network of forest camps and ranger facilities, including the Bear Springs Ranger Station and Keeps Mill Forest Camp, which supported early timber management and recreational access. Historical survey lines like the Wapinitia (Mc Quinn) Line (1887) Highway and the Campbell Line 1871 provide crucial reference points for land ownership and administrative history. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Mt Wilson and Clear Lake Butte, interspersed with high-country water features like Frog Lake and the expansive Salmon River Meadows. This survey records a specific moment in Oregon's forest history when many remote camps were the primary nodes of human activity.
